# Named Destinations

Named destinations are destinations in a document that you can refer to indirectly through a name object or a byte string.

## NamedDestination Class

The `NamedDestination` class represents named destinations in PDF documents. It exposes the following properties:

| Property      | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Name`        | Gets or sets the destination name. Changing this property also affects the name of the named destination inside the document collection.                                                                                |
| `Destination` | Of type [Destination](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/api/Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Navigation.Destination.html), determines the actual destination this named destination points to. |
| `GoToAction`  | Gets or sets the [GoToAction](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/api/Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Actions.GoToAction.html) of the named destination.                                        |

## NamedDestinations Collection

The `NamedDestinations` collection is exposed by `RadFixedDocument` and allows you to add, remove, modify, and iterate the `NamedDestination` objects in a PDF document. This collection implements `IEnumerable` and you can obtain a `NamedDestination` by its name.

## Create

You can create `NamedDestination` objects through the `Add()` method of the `NamedDestinations` collection exposed by `RadFixedDocument`.

**Create NamedDestination with Destination of type Link**

```C#
this.pdfDocument.NamedDestinations.Add("myNamedDest", new Location() { Page = this.pdfDocument.Pages[0], Left = 50, Top = 150 });
```

## Remove

You can remove a named destination as you do with any item in a collection.

**Remove NamedDestination**

```C#
this.pdfDocument.NamedDestinations.Remove("myNamedDest");
```

## Rename

In addition to the `Name` property of the `NamedDestination` class, which has a setter, you can use the `Rename()` method of the `RadFixedDocument.NamedDestinations` collection.

**Rename NamedDestination**

```C#
this.pdfDocument.NamedDestinations.Rename("myNamedDest", "Chapter1");
```

## Check If a Name Exists

The `NamedDestinations` collection provides the `ContainsName()` method. Use it to check whether a name is already applied to a `NamedDestination` or whether the `NamedDestination` you are searching for exists.

**Check if a NamedDestination already exists**

```C#
this.pdfDocument.NamedDestinations.ContainsName("myNamedDest");
```
